We are investigating a number of questions in lexical and morphological representation and processing. An important theme in our work is using the auditory modality to probe questions in this domain. One of our overarching goals is to carefully examine the predictions of decompositional approaches to morphology in the mental lexicon, in a way that integrates theoretical and experimental approaches.

Many of the questions that we have looked at or are investigating now center on finding evidence for (or against) specifically morphological representation and processing, independent of semantics and phonology. Some specific topics include:

The question of whether inflectional affixes are represented in the same way that stems and derivational affixes are;
